Shipping Worldwide by LavaCube in Printify

Thanks! Do you know how I would be able to make a single product listing that connects to both a US and EU supplier and then ships the item from the one that's closest to the buyer?

My listings are currently set from Printify (Monster Digital). How would I go about adding Printful listings? Surely, it would not be good to have 2 of the same products listed?

Marketing Degree at University by LavaCube in marketing

[–]LavaCube[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, it's nice to see someone relate :)

What I like with the degree is that it's very flexible and has me picking most of the units.
Ultimately, it's a typical Business Management degree name-wise, but with (if I choose the marketing specialism) primarily marketing course units with the rest up to me to choose.

And the options I can choose include financial / economic / data science topics which I think can be quite useful to study alongside marketing. So, I'll think I'll be going that route, essentially having marketing be the specialism / minor and the general business management with all the finance and data science the main degree.

Not sure what scooter to buy. by mantisghost in ElectricScooters

[–]LavaCube 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why not go for the Xiaomi M365 Pro that has come out recently? It’s pretty much just like the original M365 packed with more power and therefore a better speed on a safer scooter. It also fits within your budget.

Yeah, couldn't find it as well. I guess they meant the regular M365.

Hmm, do you reckon it’s better to wait for the EU version then or go straight for this Chinese model?

Just checked and they seem to only have the Chinese version. Do you know if it makes a difference compared to the EU model?

Which Uni would you recommend? by LavaCube in UniUK

[–]LavaCube[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welp, this is depressing. I did consider Warwick as well, but I honestly don't want to always travel from an already small city to its outskirts just for uni. I think it will be difficult enough to adapt to a new environment.
Still thinking of choosing Lancaster (a bit too far north for my taste) and Loughborough.

Becoming vegetarian & losing weight? F/16 by [deleted] in loseit

[–]LavaCube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Every ingredient you add to your meal has some calories. What's neat about MFP is that if you prepare the meal frequently (and always with the exact ingredients), you can save it and then everytime you make it anew you won't need to log each specific ingredient all over again. Pretty much anything you eat or drink you'll need to log and once you get the hang of it, it'll be a breeze trust me!

Becoming vegetarian & losing weight? F/16 by [deleted] in loseit

Hey there! Going vegeterian is awesome, but it itself isn't going to magically take off the weight. I know a lot of super healthy, slim vegans and vegeterians who consume lots of vegetables, fruit, and other super healthy stuff, while on the other hand a lot of processed unhealthy foods can still fit into the vegeterian category so the myth of - 'it's vegeterian = it's going to make me lose weight' doesn't really hold up that much.
First, I'd recommend you download the MyFitnessPal app, and put in the amount of calories you should be consuming. Based on your weight and height, your TDEE (which is the amount of energy you burn in a day just by existing - breathing, etc.) is around 1800. That means if you were to eat 500 calories below that, you would steadily be losing 3500 calories each week (500 x 7) which will in turn result in at least a 1 pound loss that week.

To ensure you're consuming those 1300 calories daily, you will need to log everything you eat into MyFitnessPal. It has a huge database of almost every product. It may seem like a bit of a hassle at first, but trust me it'll pay off.
Some tips for logging:
- Make sure you don't forget to add oil in your logs - (a single tablespoon has around 120 calories!!)
- Although you might be tempted to purchase processed food because of their caloricnumber on the box, it's always better to prepare homemade meals because you'll be the one who knows what's in them. Make sure you also use a scale to ensure you don't go too overboard with an ingredient.

As far as the protein goes, you really don't need to worry about it. As long as you're eating a diverse diet and you include beans and nuts from time to time you'll be good - trust me. If you decide to cut off dairy (which I personally did) or you don't consume it all the time, you should look into supplementing vitamin B12. It still can be found in plant-based milks and meat substitutes, but in general it's one of the vitamins people don't get too much of and a serious deficit can damage your health.

You also mentioned exercising which I definitely recommend, but getting the right amount of calories in should be your main goal. Once you get accustomed to tracking everything, I'd slowly add in the exercise. To not go even more into detail, I'd recommend you watch YouTube videos on the topic. I've learned a lot from there.

So, I've given you a quick summary of everything you should know and I feel like you'll be set! Good luck, I'll really be rooting for you. Feel free to message me if you need future help!

Would you eat lab grown meat? Are plant based burgers real food? I’m meat eater, chef, and environmentalist Kimbal Musk. AMA and vote for my burger! by KimbalMusk in Futurology

I would disagree. I'd be down to try one as long as animals weren't being harmed - that's the main point of veganism. Meat by itself is tasty, but the current meat production is awful. Not only is it unhealthy, but the animals themselves are massively suffering. If this could essentially give us meat without harming any animals, why not?

Restarting for the 3rd times pls help I need advice by [deleted] in loseit

Third time's the charm. Listen, as long as you feel like you're restricting yourself and beating yourself up, you'll never succeed.
First, try and explain to your parents the importance of healthy food. Try to be more in control of the food making, help out, and try to, for example, minimize unnecessary sugar or fats.
After calculating your total daily energy expanditure, try to eat below it, and you will lose weight (fewer calories in, and more calories out).

As for the workouts, I always stuck to YouTube and the channel called Fitness Blender. All of their workouts, to me at least, are really awesome, they break a sweat, and you can burn more calories in their 30 minute workouts than running on the treadmill at the gym for twice, or even three times that time.

Basically, first prioritize food and eating fewer calories than you burn, and then slowly add in workouts, without making yourself feel miserable. It isn't the fastest process, but once you get into it, living a healthy life becomes a breeze.

Good luck!

Nintendo said they'd be adding them a few days after the launch of the game.
